Most likely not during daytime. The ground conductivity would have 10 times better than it is. They did have a very low fictitious frequency which is good. The daytime signal would have to go thru West Virginia which has the nickname The Mountain State. The mountains are not as big as the Rockies but they are nasty to radio signals. Pennsylvania has some ruff areas too.

No Sale Looming, ESPN 98.7 expected to pivot to Music
- Thread starter exdjted
- Start date
WCKY 1530 made it into New England with no problem at night from Cincinnati.
I should have mentioned that in my original post - I just edited, thanks for the tip.
You are correct - no streaming link via the web page.
Well, today's the day that the "something special" gets announced. Instantly wondering what's next...

As we've been saying, Emmis is trying to sell the station, and this is temporary until the new owner takes over.

I cannot believe we have sunk to the low of discussing the coverage of a fictitious radio station from a 1970's sitcom.

I can!
Embrace the nihilism. (Said the chief nihil...

Having been in an FM station when a bomb went off on the first floor of the building, I am sensitive to the subject. The building shook a lot, but fortunately nobody was killed.
No mention of the folks who are paying his way onto a full power NYC FM for a year or less? I mean, Moses had the Red Sea part for him, but he acknowledged that it wasn't his doing. TJ, as was said of GW Bush, was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple.
Actually, that quote was from Molly Ivans about W's father, George Herbert Walker Bush. (Not that it didn't apply at least as much to W.)
(I can't dispute you as pertains to T.J., since 98.7 isn't streaming, and frankly I don't care enough to try.)

I agree. Not a very humble start -- in fact, borderline arrogant -- for an arrangement that is highly unusual in the first place and which Emmis could end on short notice.
You're right but I can't resist noting that it's Molly Ivins, not Ivans.
That's what it takes to do this kind of thing: arrogance. And the ability to turn that arrogance into a form of charm and attraction with a fan base.
That's talk radio today.

Still turns me off and I'm glad I don't have to listen to it.
It makes me wonder, can you think of any broadcast station that brands itself entirely on one of its personalities? That's what this is.
Of course this isn't a traditional radio station, and the people behind it have been clear in their intentions.
Not FM, but there are two on SiriusXM: Howard 100/101 (Stern) and Mad Dog Radio (Chris Russo). Mad Dog is the most similar to TJ in that its branding focuses exclusively on Donald Duck, I mean Chris, and the channel's other personalities are just some guys Chris and his SXM superiors like.
takes a particular kind of narcissism and arrogance to declare that God parted the radio waves for you. NYC should feel very blessed by TJ's presence.
